THE FUGITIVE FOUND.
A Detective Returns with AIabama's
Great Defaulter.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, March 17.-Isaac
II. Vincent, defaulting State treasurer of
Alabama, has al last been captured by E.
G. Ray, deputy sheriff Of Parker coun
ty. The prisoner arrived here in charge
of Ray and was taken to Jail. The arrest
occurred at Big Sandy, Wood county,
Texas, last Sunday. Mr.. Vincent stepped
off the train unconcernedly, not expect
ing apprehension. When he was con-
fronted by Deputy Ray with a cooked re-
volver in his hand, Vincent, thinking the
officer was a highwayman, Immediately
threw up his hands, stating that he had
no money about him. Ray said he want
ed him for the crime of em5eZzlement
and not for his money. Vincent at once
broke completely down, cried like little
child and begged the officer not to take
him back to his old home handcuffed,
promising to waive the Formally of wait
ing for requisition from the Governor
of Alabama. The officer complied with
the request, and brought him directly to
Montgomery.
When the news spread that Vincent
was brought back the excitement was
great. Large crowds gathered at the jail
to catch glimpse of the prisoner, and
knots of men assembled on the street dis
cussing arrest and bringing back of the
noted fugitive. Ithas long been suspect
ed here that Vincent was in Mexico, oc-
casionally making trips to Texas, where
his family is said to live. They left here
about year or so after his fight, and it
is supposed went to Texas, where they
have been ever since.
Vincent's flight on Jan. 20, 1888, his
embezzlement Of 1926 900 of State funds,
which he lost in speculation and gambling,
and the efforts of detectives to arrest him
are matters of history. 1t remained for a
deputy sheriff, assisted by the active CO.
operation of the present State executive
to finally run to the ground this most
noted of Alabama's defaulters. Vincent
always commanded the respect of his
fellow men, was very popular, and even
now commands the sympathy of the peo-
pie here on account of his interesting
family. Vincent broke down completely,
is haggard and worn, and looks 20 years
older than when he left here. His trial
on an indictment, containing 30 counts
for embezzlement, will come up at the
present term of the circuit court now in
session, and is eagerly awaited by the
public. 1t is rumored that some startling
revelations will be produced at the trial II
Vincent will unbosom himself
